5 Hotel deals to celebrate the season

Wondering where to spend the holidays? If you’re looking to buck tradition and pass on a trip to Grandma’s house, we’ve got you covered with holiday hotel deals that are chic and seasonal.

Loews Vanderbilt Hotel Nashville

This holiday season, the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel is a multi-tasker's dream, with its Shopping in Music City package. Get your holiday shopping done while on vacation for just $219 per night. Besides accommodations, the special includes a $50 gift card to The Mall of Green Hills where you can ooh and aah over brands like David Yurman and Tiffany and Co. You also get a David Yurman discount with purchase, shuttle transportation to and from the mall and complimentary valet parking at the hotel. That'll save you a nice chunk of change that you can put towards gifts!

L'Auberge de Sedona

Looking for a romantic winter retreat? Consider L'Auberage de Sedona in Arizona. Lining Sedona's Oak Creek, the resort is surrounded on all sides by the city's amazing red rock mountains. The setting is enough to make you not want to leave your lodge room, but with the Sedona Snowmance package, you'll want to take full advantage of two adult ski lift tickets to Snowbowl in nearby Flagstaff. With rates starting at $265 per night, L'Auberge's Snowmance deal also includes a $75 spa credit (per day booked!) and specialty winter cocktails on the house

The Carlton Hotel Baglioni, Milan

Take your yuletide celebrations international with a stay at The Carlton Hotel Baglioni. With its location smack in the middle of the Milan fashion district, this hotel is practically heaven on earth for any designer-label lover. Spend the day retracing the ultra-glam steps of Anna Wintour, who makes regular visits to neighboring Il Baretto boutique during Milan Fashion Week, then treat yourself to a day of bliss at Spiga 8 Spa. And don't miss the resort's very own Amaranto Boutique with goods from the best up-and-coming Italian designers. The hotel's Christmas in Milan deal has rooms starting at $590 per night.

Four Seasons Resort Whistler, British Columbia

There's nothing the staff at Four Seasons Resort Whistler hasn't thought of: holiday-themed spa treatments, stockings to hang in your "home away from home," boozed-up hot chocolate. They really know how to treat a girl! At approximately $1,160 per night, the Deck the Halls Package is a true holiday indulgence, with luxury accommodations, Christmas tree and decorations for your room, hot chocolate and freshly baked cookies for the kids, and a CD of Christmas carols. Oh, and those spa treatments we told you about? Try the peppermint candy cane sugar scrub. It's downright delicious!

Hyatt Regency Aruba

Does the thought of snow make your head spin? No worries – we have the ultimate escape! With rates starting as low as $285, even Scrooge would smile at a Caribbean holiday trip to Hyatt Regency Aruba. While your kids enjoy hours of entertainment with Camp Hyatt, you and your beau can partake in some fun at the onsite casino or spa. On Christmas day, bring the whole gang together for a visit from Santa and his elves. They'll even deliver a gift to your room while you're poolside and noshing on tropical fruit skewers.
